The Martyrs of Memphis won out against Desmond Tutu in #LentMadness. Who were these incredible sisters who worked tirelessly in the midst of yellow fever?

With Peter out, I guess I'm on the Luther train.

Hmmmm. For whom should I vote in today's #LentMadness ?
WOW. 8 votes!! This is going to be super duper close....
#LentMadness #WAT ⚓️ #episcopal
#LentMadness indeed! Yall are literally making me mad! Hooker may have won, but real ones know we wouldnt have Hooker without Cranmer and Cranmer is the true winner.
Anyway, today please vote Edith Stein! We cant be doing martyrs dirty all lent for goodness' sake! 🕯
Poem by Amy Carmichael, saint in today's #LentMadness
Hast thou no scar?
No hidden scar on foot, or side, or hand?
I hear thee sung as mighty in the land,
I hear them hail thy bright ascendant star,
Hast thou no scar?
Hast thou no wound?
Yet, I was wounded by the archers, spent. (1 of 2)
I didnt vote during yesterdays #lentmadness because I forgot, and I think its wild that Peter won over Paul. (Even though I love st Peter so very much!)
Anyway, today somehow Hooker is beating Cranmer and I am genuinely MAD. *screams in BCP*
vote Cranmer you fools!
(Hooker is great, but cmon!)
It's early yet, but Hooker's commanding lead over Cranmer in #LentMadness has me shooketh.

I was torn.
#LentMadness shreds me. I didn't do it last year at all.
Desmond Tutu and Martin Luther are the only two saints on the bracket that I think would actually like me. #LentMadness 🕯
a lent madness bracket sheet where Conrad wrote his guesses. Ultimately he thinks St Paul wins the golden halo! On left side: Luther wins v Wesley, Cranmer wins v Hooker, Gregory wins v Nino, Joan wins v Marina, Constance wins v Priscilla & Aquila, apostle Thomas wins v Seven Sleepers, apostle Paul wins v apostle Peter then Cranmer wins v Luther, Joan wins v Gregory, Constance wins v Priscilla & Aquilla, apostle Paul wins v apostle Thomas then apostle Paul wins v Cranmer On right side: Benedict wins v Basil, Clare wins v Julie, ? marks for the next two, Edith Stein wins v Amy Carmichael, Tutu wins v Sutton then Tutu loses vs Benedict Final showdown: Benedict v Paul Paul wins
Alright so I did a quick bracket guess. Some of these are who I think *will* win instead of who I *want to win*
I also dont know enough about the ? ones to make a guess.
So here's my bracket for this year's #lentmadness! 🕯
Looking at the @forwardmovement.org #LentMadness brackets and feel attacked as a transmasc by them pitting St Marinos vs St Joan of Arc lol
Both are transmasc icons, dont make me choose between them! 🕯
Happy Ash Thursday! #LentMadness #TEC
Gah! I forgot to order my Lent Madness bracket poster this year. 🙁 It really helped last year having something external and not hospice-related to think about. #LentMadness #ForwardMovement
